Late Antique

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or antique:

“What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?...

It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I embrace the common, I explore and sit at the feet of the familiar, the low. Give me insight into to-day, and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
